Story

I am proud to be a Sunflowers Suicide Support charity  volunteer and fundraiser 🌻

As a sibling of suicide and someone who has experienced mental health through a battle with anorexia THIS is a the cause closest to my heart ❤️ 

I just can’t bring myself to close this page because I know there is more for me to do 💯

I can’t wait for the next fundraiser with my Sunflowers family who kindly supported me to complete my ASIST training to because a suicide first aider this year ⛑ 

It is okay to not be okay 🙏

About the charity

Sunflowers was created in memory of Pete Morris who died by suicide in 2016. His family developed the Charity to walk alongside others bereaved by suicide and to be a small ray of light in the darkness; offering others comfort and support that is so desperately needed at such a difficult time. Sunflowers endeavour to provide other families with practical and professional support so they do not feel overwhelmed and alone. This we hope will give a glimmer of hope for the future. Sunflowers also raise awareness around mental health and suicide both on social media and by networking locally and nationally. We deliver accredited training to the wider community and presentations sharing our story. We highlight that it is Okay to not be ‘Okay’ and the importance of talking and of course listening. We feel that everyone can play a small part in connecting with and helping others to feel less alone.
